Resumen

OCHOA A, Yaliní; FALCON P, Néstor; ZUAZO R, José  y  GUEVARA P, Beder. Estimated population of stray dogs in the district of Los Olivos, Lima, Peru. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.3, pp.366-373. ISSN 1609-9117.

The aim of this study was to estimate and characterize the stray dog population in Los Olivos district, Lima, during the period November - December 2012. Eight of the 34 areas that comprise the district according the map of Los Olivos Municipality were selected. The selection of the areas was at random; dog population counting and calculations were based on the criteria outlined in the guide of the World Society for the Protection of Animals entitled «Recensusing roaming dog populations: guidelines on methodology». Three consecutive sampling were performed at daytime and evening hours in each area. The average of the three measurements was used for statistical calculations. There was an average of 332 stray dogs at daytime and 217 stray dogs at evening; males and bigger dogs were observed in higher number. Most of the dogs showed low body condition score. The estimated number of stray dogs in the district was 1411 ± 643 at daytime and 922 ± 497 at night. Results are expected tocontribute with the dog control population programme that is being implemented by the Municipality of Los Olivos
